Heat Pump Repair & Service in Fairfax, VA
A heat pump in Fairfax works year round, heating in winter and cooling in summer, so it wears faster than a furnace or an AC alone. When it struggles, you usually notice higher electric bills before you notice the house getting uncomfortable. Reliable HVAC McLean serves Fairfax, Fairfax Circle and Mantua. We answer 24/7, including nights and weekends.
What usually goes wrong
- Outdoor fan not turning
- Electric bills jumping in winter
- Lukewarm air in heating mode
- Outdoor unit covered in ice that won't clear
- Auxiliary or emergency heat running constantly
How we handle heat pump repair & service
We look at the outdoor unit and the indoor air handler together, because a heat pump problem can start on either side, and we explain what we find before quoting.
About Fairfax homes
Homes in Fairfax are mostly 1950s through 1980s single-family homes, colonials and townhouse neighborhoods around the City of Fairfax. Fairfax has a big mix of system ages, from original-era heat pumps in older subdivisions to newer high-efficiency equipment in renovated colonials. Those details shape how we approach heat pump repair & service in Fairfax: what equipment we expect to find, where it sits and how the ductwork is likely laid out.
Cost and timing
Capacitors, contactors and defrost sensors are common and reasonably priced. Reversing valves and compressors are bigger jobs, and on an older heat pump we'll show you how a repair compares with a high-efficiency replacement.
Questions we hear
Should my heat pump have ice on it?
Light frost that melts during defrost is normal. A thick block of ice that stays is not.
Why is emergency heat on all the time?
Usually because the outdoor unit isn't keeping up. Running on emergency heat costs a lot, so it's worth a quick look.
